If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5 minutes.
Given: 5 machines make 5 widgets in 5 minutes
This means each machine makes 1 widget in 5 minutes
Now consider 100 machines:
Each machine still takes 5 minutes to make 1 widget
So, 100 machines will make 100 widgets in 5 minutes (all working at the same time).
